Developing Your Employee Handbook

Payroll often plays an important role in developing employment policies for their organizations. Because payroll practitioners are increasingly wearing multiple hats, they may even be expected to take the lead on developing, revising and updating their organization’s employee handbook.

Whatever the level of your involvement, it is important to understand how employment policies are drafted, revised and enforced, and recognize some of the potential pitfalls that could arise when developing or updating an employee handbook.
